“Akane…. I don’t think we should confront Airin and Rena just yet…. I mean, Airin’s got something wrong with her head--” 

“Don’t you dare say that Michael! I still believe the Airin I once knew is still in there, I know she is!” 

“But….” 

“I don’t care, I want her back, the old her… I don’t care if she wants my blood, she can have it for all I care… As long as she returns to her past self, I don’t care if I die.” 

“But Churi….I need you! I can’t let you die! I can’t let you think what you want! You WILL get hurt! And I-” 

“Shut up!!” 

“Excuse me…?” 

“...I told you to shut up..Did I stutter? Or are you deaf?” 

“...I’m not gonna do this...I’m gonna go now..” Michael said while grabbing his jacket and walking out the door.  

Akane didn’t stop him either...Michael drove off and Akane closed the door plopping down on the couch processing what just happened.
